    A Letter from THRIVE Filmmakers, Foster and Kimberly Gamble

    Thank you for hosting a THRIVE screening! Were delighted to have you as a

    partner helping mobilize millions of people to create a world where everyone

    has an opportunity to thrive. It is our deepest wish that viewing the film with

    others will spark vibrant conversations about what it means to thrive, the

    truth about whats in the way, and the actions each of us can take to make a

    real difference.

    THRIVE is a film about the core patterns that engender and sustain life.

    It is a wake up call to the extent to which power has been consolidated

    and abused by an elite few, and it is an invitation to join in the brightest

    possibilities that can be liberated when we think critically and take a stand

    for liberty. In short, THRIVE is about real ways in which ordinary citizens

    can actively shift the power structures blocking the free flow of energy that

    enables all of life to thrive.

    We dont expect you or your guests to agree with everything in the film; we

    do hope it motivates you to check out the facts for yourselves, engage in rich

    dialogue with others, and take the actions that are right for you. To support

    you weve packed our website with resources. In fact, we like to think of the

    film as a trailer for the website. We hope that by exploring and using the site

    fully, it will become the trailer for a global, self-organizing movement.

    Screenings can help form that movement. To help you make your screening as

    rich and fruitful as possible, were providing you with resources for answering

    questions and inspiring and sustaining engagement.

    Thank you for being part of this exciting movement and for all that youre

    doing to create a thriving world.

    WHAT YOULL NEED (continued)

    Materials

    Consider if you want to include any of these:

    Name tagsfor larger groups if guests dont already know each other.

    A sign in sheetto get names and contact information so you can stay in touch with each other.

    Paper and penshandy for people who want to take notes.

    Snacks -you can always share the load by asking your guests to contribute some food.

    DVDs or Blu-ray Discs to sell to your guests- wholesale bundles of 30 and 100 are available inour online store.

    GETTING READY

    Set Up to Stream

    You can stream the movie for free through our website at http://thrivemovement.com/the_movie. Simply click on "Watch Now" and follow the prompts. The online version of the movieis hosted by YouTube and the quality largely depends on your Internet connection, so be sure totest out in advance. For large groups, we recommend watching the DVD to get the best qualitywithout interruption.

    Its ideal to be connected physically to the Internet with an ethernet port while streaming. Awireless connection is slower and can cause delays and pauses.

    To view full screen, click the square button in the lower right of the video player. To go back tothe smaller viewing window, hit Escape on your keyboard.

    You can adjust the quality of the stream by clicking on the gear icon in the lower right cornerof the video player. If you have a fast Internet connection, you can adjust it to a higher number(720). If you have a slow Internet connection, you can set it to a lower number (480 or 360)which will reduce the quality but ensure a continuous stream.

    Get Informed

    Consider if you want to watch the film before your screening. Doing so is likely to help you feelmore prepared to host a fruitful conversation since you won't yourself be dealing with your ownreactions for the first time.

    Get to know the website (http://www.thrivemovement.com). Not only will you get answers to avariety of questions, youll also be able to point your guests to the resources they need.

    AT THE SCREENING

    INTRODUCTIONS

    You might want to help your guests settle in by having them introduce themselves. For large groupspeople can turn to their neighbors on both sides and share what inspired them to attend the screening.For smaller groups you can go around the room and invite each person to say their name to the wholegroup and share what brought them there.

    PREPARE PEOPLE TO WATCH THE FILM

    You can let people know that they can find chapter summaries, a full outline of the film, as well asthoroughly researched fact checking on the THRIVE website, so theyre free to watch without feeling likethey need to take notes to retain all the information.

    WATCH THE FILM

    When the film ends it might be helpful to wait until the titles finish before turning up the lights andstarting the dialogue. Letting the credits roll with the theme song playing all the way through gives peoplea little time to reflect before engaging.

    TALK ABOUT IT

    Getting the Conversation Started

    For Groups of Any Size:

    If the conversation doesnt start easily, you can suggestpeople take some quiet time to reflect on their own first.Then, when theyre ready, they can turn to someone nearthem and take a few minutes to share their initial thoughts

    and feelings. If nobody talks at first, remember that a lot might be

    happening in the silence. If it continues you can get theconversation going by sharing your own feelings and/oroffering a few dialogue questions.

    For Large Groups:

    You can invite larger groups to break out into smallergroups of 3 - 5 for a more lively discussion.

    You might suggest guests start by turning to someone near

    them and sharing what overall impact the film has had on

    them.

    AT THE SCREENING

    Hosting Tips

    1. Remember the purpose of thefilm isnt to get people to adoptnew beliefs but to generatecritical thinking. Theres no needto convince anybody of anything.Instead, allow them to expresstheir perspective, whatever it maybe, and invite them to try onanother perspective for a shorttime to see if it has value.

    2. If someone starts dominating theconversation ask them politely tomake room for more commentsand experiences.

    3. If people have questions aboutwhat was actually in the film,remind them that they can watchthe film again and download

    chapter summaries and a fulloutline on the website.

    After sharing the initial impact of the film you can invite people to talk about what inspired them, whatchallenged them, and what questions they now have, if any.

    You can choose dialogue questions from the list on the next page and post them in front of the room tohelp keep the conversation going, or hand out a printed page with the dialogue questions on them toeach group.

    For Smaller Groups:

    People might launch right into conversation. If so, great. Your job is easy. You can also throw somequestions from the list of dialogue questions on the next page into the mix if that feels like it wouldhelp.

    If theres a chance, before the dialogue gets going you can ask people what overall impact the film hashad on them.

    Once guests have had a chance to share, you can open the broader conversation by asking, Whatinspired you, what challenged you, and what are your questions?

    Here are a few ideas for possible public offerings, but feel free to brainstorm your own:

    Form a local action group to go through each of the top 10 actionsteps together.

    Start a Facebook group around each action.

    We suggest that those meeting in interest groups be sure to collect each others names and contactinformation, establish a point person, and establish a next step they want to take. You can remind them ofthis a few minutes before you reconvene as a large group. Invite people who arent part of interest groupsto shop around and listen-in on other groups to see if they are inspired or want to join.

    For Small Groups:

    Invite anyone who wants to share with the whole group one thing they or their interest group willbe doing after they leave.

    For Large Groups:

    Invite anyone whos interested to tell one other person what actions theyre going to take after theyleave.

    6.Support Independent Media

    Did you knowthat in the US, just five major corporations dominate the media industry: Bertelsmann,News Corporation, Time Warner, Viacom, and Walt Disney? This small group controls what you read,watch, and hear on a daily basis without disclosing their financial or other conflicts of interest.

    What you can doListen, watch, and read independent news.

    7.Support Organic, Non-GMO Farming

    Did you knowthat genetically modified foods are proven to have serious health consequences, but arenot required to be labeled in the US? That means you could be eating them without even knowing it. Many

    counties and even whole countries are banning the use of GMOs because of concern over their health andenvironmental impacts.

    What you can doSign up for critical mass actionsto create GMO-Free Zones and demand labelingof GMO products; support organizations that are working to protect people and the environment from

    unsafe GMO practices; and support organic farmers by eating organic food as much as possible.

    8.Require Election & Campaign Finance Reform

    Did you know that a Supreme Court ruling in 2010 (Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission)allowedcorporations to anonymously fund political advertisements? That means that an oil-friendly politician cannow have all his or her TV ads completely funded by oil companies without our knowing.

    What you can do Insure your right to know who funds politicians so you can make the most informeddecisions. Check out Public Campaign: Clean Money, Clean Electionsto help bring about campaignfinance reform.

    9.Advocate for Renewable and Free Energy

    Did you knowthat the U.S. government protects nuclear power plants so taxpayers are ultimatelyresponsible for the consequences of any accidents both financially and with their lives? There are safer

    alternatives.

    What you can doJoin with a critical mass of othersto promote the development, protection, anddissemination of New Energy Technologies.

    10. Take Part in Critical Mass ActionsDid you know that seemingly against all odds, women successfully reduced the ancient tradition offemale genital cutting in many villages throughout Africa? If just one woman had refused the practice shewould have been ostracized, but when entire villages agreed to refuse together, they had the leverage theyneeded. Once one village succeeded, the campaign spread successfully throughout much of Africa andnow thousands of women are able to safely avoid this violation.
